Help Name Santa's Sleigh this Year!

There are many traditions of Christmas -- and last year Santa started a new one: having kids help Santa pick out a name for the sleigh.

That's right, the sleigh gets a new name every year. And that is because Santa uses a new sleigh every year. The sleigh, like the Christmas tree, is a part of the Christmas family. And before Santa goes around the world he likes to give the sleigh a name just like he has a name for all his reindeer.

Last year's sleigh was named "Gisele", a suggestion submitted by 8 year old Natalie Knauff of Australia. Please see this link for more details about our last year's contest winner.

Will you help name Santa's sleigh this year?

There are just a couple of things to remember:

1. The sleigh ALWAYS has a girl's name. Santa didn't explain why this is. But he always refers to the sleigh as "she" or "her". He always says things like "She's a beauty this year!" or "Listen to her bells ring!". So the name has to be a girl's name.

2. Santa can only pick out one name. From time to time, we will post a list of names that have been suggested. But Santa won't pick out the winner until Christmas Eve day. That's right...you'll have to follow the Santa Updates on Christmas Eve day and track Santa around the world with us in order to learn if your entry won!

3. Your entry needs to be in by December 15th, 2009.

4. What's the prize? Why, a Merry Christmas, of course! (Santa will leave our winner a little something extra special in their stocking this year!)
